1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
5
Cook the Spinach
Add the washed spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, allowing it to wilt down before adding more. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
6
Season the Spinach
Once all the spinach has wilted, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss gently to combine.
